*sarcastic voice*

I mean, that makes sense, right??? Why didn’t anyone think of it sooner?

In the face of growing cracks in the system, North Korea amended its criminal code last year increasing penalties for expressing criticism of the government and other “anti-state” crimes. The revision, the fifth since 1950, also calls for tougher regulation on new crimes caused by infiltration of outside information.

Tougher penalties will definitely make people more eager to deny their inborn desire for freedom and submit to a dictatorship, won’t it? *end sarcastic voice*
